Sacramento -- California's budget mess will grow by $544 million because of cost overruns in the state's prison system, $90 million of the problem stemming from pay and benefit increases Gov. Gray Davis gave to state prison guards.
Adding this year's projected prison spending deficit to the state's existing cash shortfall means Gov.-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger must close a gap of at least $8.5 billion.

Yep - right on. And I'll cover the annual cost personally, for one more prisoner for causing this - Davis. Did you know he was turning away firefighters from the military and other states because they weren't certified in 'the union'?

"Did you know he was turning away firefighters from the military and other states because they weren't certified in 'the union'?" No, I didn't. Well hopefully Arnold with the help of the few conservatives in Sacramento will be able to turn this whole mess around including the debacle in the budget and economy here.
